Haunted by a Spirit.

Passengers on The main stem of the Balti-
more and Ohio have noticed large yellow
painted house on the south side of the road,
on NJ. street, near Seventh northeast. 1t is
one of those landmarks that naturally at.
tract The eye. In this place Antonio Easel
felt, German baker, and his aged mother
have lived for a long time. When Antonio
came home from Ohio, about seven years
ago, in search of work, he located himselfin
the northeast section of the city. After
procuring work he sent for his mother anu
in time both of them settled down in this
quiet, out of the way place. A big tin plate
at the top of the door designated it as 62l.
Antonio worked hard at first with a gay
heart, but in time sorrow seemed TO over
come him. His troubled looks made his
friends ask him very often what caused
them, but O. shake of the head was the only
response. During the past year his morose.
ness grew worse daily, and was the cause Of
much solicitude among those who had his
interest at heart. He began to drink, and
continued until it got the better of him.
Saturday night, however, seemed TO be an
exception to those he had spent for some
time among his friends. He was light
hearted and joyous and when he started
for his bed room he smiled upon his aged
mother. There appeared to be no dis
turbance or noise about the house dur
ing the night. At breakfast time An
tonic did not appear, nor was he mo-
Tested, as it was thought he meant
to sleep later than usual. About
$50 o'clock his mother went to his room,
and the scene before her struck terror to
her heart Her son lay dead in his own
blood, and Oh the floor was q revolver. 1t
was not long before her cries brought help.
When the police came, which was very
soon, the crowd was standing idly looking
at the PROSTATE form. 1t was plain case
of suicide, the fallen pistol and the dark
blood oozing from q wound in the heart tell
ing how it was done. Coroner Patterson
came to inquire into the cause, and his in.
quries soon revealed the story of Easelfclt's
death. A few years ago he killed fellow
man in Ohio. He was tried and acquitted
of this murder He was then about % years
of age. Shortly after his release he left the
scene of his former life. He fled it, as it
were, TO escape the constant recollection of
the murder. He came 70 this city stranger
with the hope of blotting out the remem-
brances OF the past. The spirit of the mur-
dered man haunted him like nightmare,
and he tried to drown his miseries in strong
drink, but this was of no avail. He seemed
to be shadowed day and night until life be.
came burden, reason tottered, and in a
moment of hopeless despair he fred the ia.
tai bullet and ended life embittered with
thoughts and woes that no words can de-
scribe. The coroner deemed an inquest un-
necessary and gave certificate of death by
suicide. The mother of the deceased felt
very keenly the sad blow visited upon her.
She also attempted in the afternoon, after
the inquest, to get hold of a pistol, but was
frustrated. "Never mind" said she, II will
follow him in two weeks time. ."-Washing-
ton Republican.
